Interview with Cindy Harley - Ep. 49
Manage episode 312210339 series 2833360
In today's episode, we interview Dr. Cindy Harley, Associate Professor of Biology at Metropolitan State University in St Paul, MN. First of all, we learn about Cindy's career path, and how her career path is interwoven with the stage of life in which she had her son. We then dive deeper into her research, and learn about her research on leeches.
The main topic of today's episode is on being an academic parent. We discuss both how having a child changed some of Cindy's attitude towards work and towards learning, as well as the general fate of academic parents, and how the Academic Mama foundation, of which Cindy is the president, makes a positive impact in the lives of academic parents.
Finally, we round off with our standard questions on best advice, the impact of COVID-19, setting boundaries, and a day in the life.
